In 1991 Somali Pres. Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown in a popular uprising led by the guerrilla fighters of the United Somali Congress. More than three decades of civil war have ensued, leaving many Somalis internally displaced or forcing them to leave the country. The majority of Somalis outside of Somalia live in the surrounding countries of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Yemen.
